Saint Freak posted:If you were at an airport to catch a conveyor belt plane, and walking along you see one of those moving sidewalks. It's going the wrong way (towards you), but just for fun you walk alongside it on stable ground and pull your wheelie luggage along the moving sidewalk in the wrong direction. If it's going 10 mph the wrong way do you have to run 10 mph forward to pull the bag? Or are the wheels just freespinning bits of rubber so it will move at the same speed as before (albeit the wheels are spinning much faster)? friction exists

the foreskin is smooth like a shark. this is what enables it to freewheel on treadmills

So yeet is just quantum foam? Bit of a disappointment really. Though it might of course be quantum foam! which is way more exciting!!!!!!!!! Karate Bastard has a new favorite as of 06:58 on Apr 5, 2019 |

I always thought the plane on a treadmill was a hypothetical thought experiment based on the premise that the treadmill negates the plane's forward motion. It falls apart if you apply real world physics to it but pushing a fat guy onto the tram tracks probably also wouldn't stop the tram.

That's the idea, yes, and it's a loving stupid one because it's based on the assumption that a plane moves forward like a car, driven by the wheels.

Does make me wonder how many people have even been on a plane, I figured that out when I was like, eight? Not to mention the whole thing about planes are pretty slow on the ground for obvious reasons.

Many physics problems assume impossible preconditions, like frictionless surfaces or perfectly elastic spheres. I sometimes wonder if the plane-takes-off people have ever actually taken any physics courses at all.

If you put the plane on a leash it would be the same question and less confusing

How is the plane taking off if it’s not moving forward through the air? When you go for a jog outside, you feel the air move around you, when you run on a treadmill, you don’t feel anything because you aren’t actually moving forward. A plane in the simplest terms doesn’t need engines or wheels to take off, it just needs functional wings and enough speed forward through enough air to create lift.
